Writer Vs. Spammer

Posted on at


What a disappointment, spam has taken over on Bitlanders! I guess spammers don`t care about the rules and various warnings  that Bitlanders support has been posting about getting punished because the majority gets away with it in the end. People restrain form reporting spam right away as spammers are usually just kids, newbies or people who don`t understand English so they feel sorry for them. But there is no other way. Sometimes I feel they are mocking the website owners and honest earners. 

At first I used to delete spam comments on my blogs but now I think it`s better to leave them and reply with resentment. I wish there was a blocking option. I also think that as the process of tracking down and suspending fraudulent accounts is a long one, the website owners should consider discontinuing microblog broadcast on home page. At the same time there should be a word count minimum integrated in the blog posting form so that crap like: "buzz me I will buzz you", a one link blog or one picture blog never even gets published. In that way the amount of spam will be a bit reduced. Less shame for starters. The war does not end there of course. Writer Vs. Spammer to be continued...
